George Will on surprising crime statistics



George Will does his homework. This article is the first I've seen that explains some of the reasons incarceration of Blacks is so high, the oft quoted "there are more black men in jail than in college" is false। Yes, it is simply not true -even if Obama says it over and over on the stump- 'taint so MON!
FACTS are nice to have once in awhile instead of FEELINGS.

Will drags out the NY Times headlines "Crime is down, but prison population up" DUH? This type of headline appears all the time in liberal leaning newspapers. The fact that black men kill black men at a much higher homicide rate than any other race is never mentioned in the press- but the FACTS bear that out also.
